Oswego, Illinois, United States

This 1927 Ford Model T in its final
year of production- has everything! This car is a solid Touring Car and has all the pricey upgrades that
serious T-drivers want and need. This car was a frame-off restoration in the 60’s and
again in the last few years (2007-2013)
so she is fully ready for more driving pleasure. Has a clear -newer & interior -high compression head -new Kevlar trans bands -new 3-speed Warford auxillary transmission -new -new Brassworks radiator -newer tires & tubes -accessory Ford bumpers -new wiring -duel taillights -brake activated “stop” light -working turn signals -new timer -new side curtain- FULL SET, including gypsy curtains -speedometer installed -dash light -all new fluids -new hoses & motormeter - new plugs and wires -waterproof coilbox -new rebuilt tested coils -adjusted original aoogah horn -new engine gaskets -engine was re-freshed and maybe rebuilt -rear end rebuilt and new oil -stainless muffler and custom pipe -new steering stabilizer -rear brass rug rail -running board tool box -running board luggage rack -new rubber pedal covers -new NH carburetor and fuel line -new ammeter -new starter & rebuilt generator -new fan belt -new aluminum belt pulley -new battery cut-out system for safety -safety glass -Ford manual & original jack -LED sidelamps for extra safety at night and more….

Warford shifts smoothly and makes running at 40+ mph a treat and keeps the
engine quiet & cool at higher speeds. The paint was done in the late 60’s
and has all the normal nicks and dings of a driving car- has a few spots where
it bubbled from bad adhesion- see pics, but still looks great overall. You can
keep up with traffic in this car and stop easily, all of which make driving
this car a safe joy. Please ask any questions prior to bidding- I am happy to

The overdrive allows the engine to stay quiet and cool at higher speeds and allows comfortable cruising at 35-45 mph, direct-drive is normal Model T speed and under-drive is a safe and slow pace. I'll accept a bank cashier's check as long as there is ample time for it to clear both financial institutions. Thanks for asking! |

Ford posts decade-best $2.1B profit in Q1 2013
Wed, 24 Apr 2013As predicted, Ford has reported that its first quarter of 2013 was a resounding success overall, with a pretax profit of $2.1 billion ($0.41 per share), and a net income of $1.6 billion ($0.40 per share). In fact, Ford made a pretax profit of some $2.4 billion in its home North American market, with that total number being pulled down by losses in South America and Europe. That gaudy North American profit is the strongest result by the automaker since 2000.
Ford's companywide profit for Q1 was down $147 million from one year ago, while the net income number marked an increase of $215 million year over year. Overall, this is Ford's 15th-consecutive profitable quarter.
The bad news from the European market was even worst in Q1 2013 than it was last year. Pretax losses of $462 million - on revenue of $6.7 billion - represented a year-over-year change of -$313 million. In South American, the company reported a loss of $218 million, down from a slim profit of $54 million in Q1 2012. The news was better for Ford Asia Pacific Africa, where a $6 million pretax profit in 2013 showed a year-over-year gain of some $101 million when compared to losses in 2012.

Ford abandons MyFord Touch, all hail Sync 3 infotainment [w/video]
Thu, Dec 11 2014MyFord Touch has been among the most widely disdained automotive infotainment systems on the market, practically since its introduction in 2010. Consumer Reports was among the most vocal critics, all but advocating its lynching by an angry mob armed with torches and pitchforks. Not surprisingly, then, after such a critical walloping, Ford has finally decided to say goodbye to the unloved tech, declaring the end of MyFord Touch branding in favor of Sync 3 for its upcoming, all-new system. Ford is promising everything you would expect from Sync 3, including faster response time, better voice-command integration, easier controls and a more useable interface. The screen layout includes fewer items to make them easier to discern, and the icons are made from large, high-contrast buttons. There's also a dedicated tab for apps at the bottom of the screen in addition to those for audio, climate, phone and navigation. Another useful feature is the fact that Sync 3 can download improvements over your home Wi-Fi for easier updates. In addition to the revamped interface, the software running behind the scenes is a big change too. Rather than MyFord Touch's Microsoft-sourced system, Sync 3 uses the Blackberry-owned QNX, according to Automotive News. Such a switch was rumored earlier this year. Drivers still have to live with MyFord Touch a little longer, though. According to Automotive News, Ford said that the change to Sync 3 will happen during the 2016 model year with complete integration into the lineup by the end of the 2016 calendar year. It will come standard on Titanium trim models and as a separate option will be priced in line with the current MyFord Touch. The Sync 3 brand will carry over to Lincoln, too, but with a different look. The gallery above shows a few more looks at the interface, and we invite you to scroll down to watch a video of Sync 3 in action and to read Ford's press release about it, below.

Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR
Fri, Jun 5 2015As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.
